The Town of Leesburg operates under the Council-Manager form of government. The Town Council is the legislative body of the Town and is empowered by the charter to make Town policy. The Council is composed of a Mayor and six Council Members elected at large on a non-partisan basis.
Elections are held on the first Tuesday in May in each even numbered year. Six of the seven Council Members are elected for four-year overlapping terms. The Mayor is elected for a two-year term. Citizens may register to vote at the Loudoun County Voter Registration Office, 801 Sycolin Road, SE, Suite 102, Leesburg, VA 20175-5686. Telephone (703) 777-0380. Information on polling locations can be found on the Loudoun County Website.
The Council meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Council Chambers on the second floor of the Municipal Government Center, 25 West Market St. The Council also meets in a work session at 7:30 p.m. on Mondays preceding regular Tuesday meetings.
The public is welcome to attend the meetings. Council meetings can be seen live on one of Leesburg's Government Access Channels, Comcast Channel 67 and Verizon Channel 35 or by webcast.
Participation by public-spirited citizens on Town boards and commissions is vital to the success of the Town government. Individuals interested in applying for a vacancy on one of our boards, commissions or committees should submit a letter of interest and resume to the Clerk of Council.
